How do I install a flush mount socket?
A flush-mount socket is designed to be installed inside a flush-mounting box recessed into the wall. The electrical wiring is concealed inside this flush-mounting box, which is why it is called a flush-mount socket. Here are examples of a single flush-mounting box and a double flush-mounting box.
To install a socket, you first need to fit a flush-mounting box that provides sufficient space for the electrical connections. The box should be recessed into the plaster so that its front edge is perfectly flush with the finished wall surface.
All zangra flush-mount sockets are supplied with a standard flush-mounting box.
